SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Certain misdemeanor offenses by minors. Provides that in the case of a misdemeanor violation of § 18.2-250.1 (possession of marijuana) and § 18.2-266.1 (underage drinking and driving) a petition need not be filed if the juvenile is released to the custody of a parent or legal guardian pending the initial court date. Current law provides that no petition need be filed in the case of any violation of § 18.2-266 (DUI) or 29.1-738 (drunk boating). A procedure is established making it possible for a juvenile to have a misdemeanor possession of marijuana charge referred to intake for consideration of informal proceedings.
